After FPL visited it, the Suwannee County Commission
decided they couldn’t do anything; nevermind that pipeline and fracking
ordinances have worked in Pennsylvania and New York state, and there’s
no reason to believe they wouldn’t in Florida.
There’s still time for the Commissioners to stand up for the
citizens of Suwannee County, Florida.

The commission chairman noted that they have a copy of the
resolution passed recently by the Hamilton County Commission
addressing the issue as well as all the information about the Sable
Trails Project released by the company handling the project.
However, the board has taken no action one way or the other.

The key phrase in there seems to be “all the information about the Sable
Trails Project released by the company handling the project”.
Perhaps the Commission would like to dig a little deeper than
information produced by the one company with the most vested interest
in saying the pipeline is a great thing.
This would be the same Chairman who
denied his previous on-video Sabal Trail comments after he heard from FPL.

Phil Oxendine has a problem with the pipeline but not for safety
concerns but rather political reasons. “We are overseas right
now and that reason is because of our need for oil and the sooner we
get away from that use the better we all will be.” Oxendine
also feels it is not in the best interest of the country to export
the gas but that is an entirely different issue he said.
